Toussaint and K-Doe to join La. Music Hall of Fame
Submitted by Reese on Sat, 08/01/2009 - 2:38pm
Allen Toussaint and Ernie K-Doe will be inducted to the Louisiana Music Hall of Fame tomorrow at K-Doe's Mother-in-Law Lounge in New Orleans, according to the Associated Press. K-Doe died in 2001.
The Louisiana Music Hall of Fame is currently a "virtual museum," available for viewing online, but executive director Mike Shepherd said the hall plans to open next year in a downtown space with two performance stages, a recording studio and multimedia exhibits.

Two weeks worth of music
Submitted by Reese on Fri, 06/19/2009 - 3:07pm
Gumbo Radio's playlist now has 14 days worth of music, with 5,675 songs. I'm going to hold off adding any more music to the library for now. There's a shrinking hard drive issue that needs to be addressed, and I want to normalize all the tunes so they play at one audio level. That's the next major update, once I get to it.
Hope you're enjoying the music.

I've switched the broadcast to the 5-hour loop. I'm giving my Mac a rest over the weekend. I'll switch it back to the live mode on Monday. Hope you and yours have a beautiful Easter.

Happy Mardi Gras!
Submitted by Reese on Mon, 02/23/2009 - 10:57am
I was going to wait until tomorrow to kick in the Mardi Gras mix. But what the hell. There's about 8.5 hours of Mardi Gras tunes and other assorted nuttiness playing right now. On Ash Wednesday, I'll kick the larger playlist back into the broadcast. Hope you have a safe and happy Mardi Gras!
